“The concentrations we saw in the brain tissue of normal individuals, who had an average age of around 45 or 50 years old, were 4,800 micrograms per gram, or 0.48% by weight,” Campen said.
That’s the equivalent of an entire standard plastic spoon, Campen said.
“Compared to autopsy brain samples from 2016, that’s about 50% higher”

Yep, that’s the thing that gets me every time.
One of the key principles of my job is to make it as easy as possible for people to do the “right” thing and as hard as possible to make bad choices. And I’m constantly applying that principle to my own workflows to outmaneuver my brain’s busted reward centers so I can trick myself into doing laundry or whatever. So I’m often hyperaware of the structural inconveniences imposed on me and on all of us, and how it’s a Sisyphean endeavor to try to do anything that runs counter to how society is structured. Impossible and maddening.
